  hot as hell

  by Hortensia in

  52 degrees celsius is 125.6 degrees fahrenheit.

  that's hot no matter how you measure it.. where i used to live in the desert we had about two weeks every year with temps over 120 degrees f. i once experienced walking in 128 degree weather.

  not good for humans at all.. i hope the weather cools soon -- that is hot enough to keep wild fires burning for a long time, hot enough to kill people.

  A little update on my family

  a few of you may remember that my wife had a kidney transplant early last year.

  since then the kidney has been incredible, giving her a new lease on life.

  it's really been good to see the light in her eyes that i had missed for quite a long time.. the counterpoint to this good news is the problems we have had with our son coltin.

  this is my first time posting on here.

  i've been inactive for 3 months now and my husband and i are going the fading way.

  i was born and raised in this religion and now after almost 30 years, they have taken most everything from me.

  Stop Putting Apostate Stickers On My Literature! They "Cost Lots of Money!"

  by AuntConnie in

  "true story" the circuit overseer came to our kingdom hall and read us the riot act (local needs style) "magazines of this quality are not free, they cost money and we are not generating enough donations to defray the cost of the magazines(or running the top of the line printing presses) i get my ass out of bed to place literature in the laundray cleaning, coin opperated shops and some asshole puts his apostate stickers on our magazines.

  do you know how hard it is to get up at 6:00 am and how expensive those magazines are costing the organization to print?

  please stop defiling our literature, i dont post hateful stickers on your website so please leave my magazines alone.

  wow it felt good to type that heading, if only it were officially true!.

  i guess i dont want to dwell on "ttatt" too much, though i am now an inactive jw now, and will be forever, i dont want to be defined by that.

  but i will certainly keep an eye on this forum, contribute where i feel i can, and i must say thankyou to those who moderate it and keep it running.

  i would like to thank everyone who is a part of this community.

  i have been abused by this billion dollar evil religion since i was born.

  i am now in my late thirties and have been battling depression issues over my former abuses by this nongoverment organization.

  Welcome DefiantTruth, Wow amazing story!

  I feel our lives were similar, my parents were also very abusive, my Mum was the violent one and you never knew when a beating was coming on, very unsettling.

  I was made to get baptised. My parents kicked me out at 15 as I said I didnt want to go to meetings anymore, being so naivve I walked straight into a worse situation where I was drugged, raped and attacked with a knife.

  This cult needs to be advertised for what it really is, a mind control, money grabbing, real estate company.

  That is my new focus, outting this shitty cult to anyone who will listen!

  i'll refrain from commenting on the shooting.

  i spent 2 hours on fb last night doing that.

  let's just say i'm a devout 2nd amendment supporter and believe more guns are the answer.. .

  Welcome John, I wonder if its worse sometimes, being a believer still but not being active in anyway because you constantly fear armaggedon.

  I too am a born-in, kicked out of home at 15 the yr I was baptised for questioning the org and refusing to go to meetings.

  Unfortunately after having to live with drug lords and prostitutes I began to believe that maybe it was the truth, this is just the way the org described life on the outside.

  Fast forward 23 years later I found JWN and TTATT saved me from that utter BS I was trying to believe in.

  I love this site, it has changed my life and I never have to go back!!

  Enjoy your journey of self discovery and freedom!

  Congratulations you have finally left hell.

  hubby and i (faders) were in the supermarket today.

  we had just avoided and completely ignored an elder and his wife when we saw a newly married couple who were both recently disfellowshipped, of course being the rebels we are we made a bee line for them.

  the df man was until recently a workmate of my hubby so they quickly got into an animated discussion and i met the new wife who seemed nice but let me know they were getting reinstated asap.

  Thanks guys, never thought about it that way, maybe they are seriously doubting but have to tell me that they are full on believers still because of other family or friends they are trying to return for. It was interesting how they were openly inviting us to drop in anytime. Maybe they are lonely? As I said though its not a friendship that could ever work as we are heading in diff directions, the wife actually mentioned that if I drop in and see her she can 'bring me back into the truth', *vomit*.
